Does anyone  have any research or data about the use of underwire bras and

anyone has anything, please email me privately (and post, as  well).



~~ I don't have any research ( and I admit I wore underwire nursing bras  off 
and on for seven years of nursing without problems) but some women do seem  
to have issues. I am responding to open the query: Has anyone worked with a mom 
 who seemed to be getting plugged ducts and mastitis during pumping only ( 
baby  has posterior tongue tie and mobility and strength issues which mom 
refuses to  have evaluated) which might be related to wearing those hands-free 
bustiers? I  think this mom's situation was complicated by the fact that she did 
not   always pump very regularly, and since her baby cannot latch and feed 
normally at  all, she was pumping many times a day and wearing the bustier most of 
the day.  
Just wondering,
 
Peace,
